More Naples

July 19, 2022

Like I said yesterday, we did all of our favorite things in Naples…and plenty of adventures that the kids talked us into! Robert took Spencer and Samantha on the jet ski…

Maxwell talked us into braving the heat for mini golf.

He and Robert both got a hole in one!

The kids knew hot to cool off afterward!

We also played tennis together for the first time down there. It ended about how I thought it would…

ha! The rackets were old and the grips were disintegrating and Samantha’s turned her hands black! Combine that with a good ball to the face by Robert and she was done! But, Maxwell and I played again another day and had a lot of fun and then I took all 3 kids back out on our last day and it was an overall success!

Of course we shot fireworks on the 4th…

We also took on another sand dollar project just liked we did in 2020…

Naples

July 18, 2022

The week of July 4th we took a trip down to Naples for some fun and sun! This motley crew was happy to be there!

It was our first time down there without Daddo and…it was hard. It just didn’t seem right. But, Naples was his favorite place and we’re so glad he introduced it to us so it could become our favorite place too. We loved doing our usual favorite things like going to the beach, the movies, playing mini golf, making cookies….can’t beat it. We also tried some new restaurants, The Bay House and The Dock, and we went to eat at Swan River. Overall a great stay!

What a play! If only that ball was still in his glove on that tag. A+ for effort!

Coach Brown looks pretty legit here!

ballpark baby

June 22, 2022

The real champion of the summer baseball season? Samantha! She’s the very best ballpark baby for sure! She’s really learned so much about baseball and can totally follow the game. She’s very good at entertaining herself with whoever is around to play with. I sure do love having my sidekick with me at the games…even if she does drain my money at the concession stand!! ha!

She was such a trooper all season often going with me from Spencer’s game straight to Maxwell’s game. Lots of driving all over town and late nights at dirt fields. She hung in there and never (well, almost never) complained.

Most of the siblings from Spencer’s team. As one mom said, “the concession stand’s best customers!”
